So I entered the setup through Safe Mode, which allowed it to install.

Got Windows 7 running, still BSOD on startup. I tried Safe Mode, but setup won't let it advance unless its in regular mode (for activation and such) and I've disabled EVERYTHING in my BIOS that I can and it still gives a BSOD. Some unreconcileable hardware problem I guess.

using any raid set up?
did you wipe your hd?
maybe you wiped your raid drivers?
enabled raid in bios?

I initially had a Netflix issue, and then IE stopped showing pages thinking my PC wasn't connected, I reset defaults on IE and re-installed the Netflix and all is well again, even plays movies as it should now, in 7 x64 that is. Though initially it was a problem...really odd at that too.

mine keeps saying its updating some component of windows media player then fails the update and thus freezes my browser.

Besides a lock up of Windows live after coming back from hibernate, a slow maximize time for Steam whilst watching a movie, and my connection light being amber rather than blue, it's flawless for me so far.

I also find that every time I install Vista or 7 that I have to remove the 3.55GB Hibernation from Disk Clean...after that it never comes back. Definately some valuable space saved from a feature I do not use.

1) Having to click on something 5-10 times before it will "click" on something or put a prompt in a field
2) same goes for typing. Many times I will be in a field that it took me 5 times to click on to get a prompt and then once I start typing I can type a whole sentence and it appears 5-10 seconds later....very annoying.
3) Also the inablility to change the color and appearance of WMP.
4)No WMP toolbar option. Hell even ITUNES has one...MS is lacking options compared to apple on its own software for crying out loud.... I understand this is a beta but THIS is not a step forward
5) For those of you who can't access the equalizer in WMP... FIX:In Now Playing Mode >> Show Play list http://i41.tinypic.com/2r39eu8.png
6) Desktop Gadets doesnt work when I click on program either by right-click on desktop or in control panel... FIX: Enable UAC
7) HP printer wont install (CORRECTION) Weirdly enough MS had a driver that worked but HP did not....funny.
8) The stupid Hide Icon in the system tray going up instead of out is not a bug...its just stupid....I cant imagine MS had people just knocking down their door to fix/change this....this is the kind of shortsighted shit MS always pulls they change something for arbitrary reasons....
9)DAMN UAC prompting me on every startup asking me if I want Lavalys Everest to run...YES I DO YOU STUPID ASS....HOW BOUT A F'ING BOX THAT SAYS 'ALWAYS DO THIS FOR THIS PROGRAM'
10) Music corruption bug....happened to me... get the bug fix here

Has a problem with my tri monitor, dual card setup. Some games rock on it, surprisingly, left 4 dead, but others like bioshock, come up in a window, at 1024x768, and when I select a proper resolution, the game switches to one of my secondary monitors. Simply will not come up on my main 24" lcd, weird. Using 181.20 vista64 driver. Also discovered rivatuner 2.22 won't install, but evga precision 1.40 will, and gives fan control.

I noticed at least in x64 I have no OSD with Precision 1.40, and I have no Steam Overlay when launching a game from STEAM.

Though on Vista x64 I had to choose either Precision's OSD or Steam Overlay...so it depended on what game we were playing and if we were using Teamspeak or Steam chat. x86 vista was fine with both.

I may try Precision in Vista compatability to see if I can get the OSD back, I just like knowing what FPS and Temps my GTX is at...though it's running amazingly under 7 for the most part. FFoW get's a little laggy here and there during MP, but that could be my connection too..hard saying, I did learn that I can no longer run GPU Folding and play FFoW at the same time....seems the GPU client doesn't scale down as effectively.

Oddly enough, I do have osd under x64, works perfect. I got bioshock to run by disabling my 2 secondary monitors in the driver, so most other games should run for me now. Sure hope they fix the multi-monitor support, because this driver is supposed to deal with that even in sli systems!

i have no problem with this my OSD works fine what drivers are you using?

sorry if this has been posted before, but has anyone noticed the increased power usage when using windows 7 (both X 86 and X64) my system idle has gone gone 124 watts to 149 watts..

im thinking its because of imature drivers for the gtx 280 as the gtx 280 ha three levels of load 2D / low 3d/ and high 3D and it seams that its idling using the low 3D setting (i do have Aero turned off)
